It’s europe. All electronics are more xpensive here, often because of import taxes/VAT etc.

I’m not sure why I got downvoted with that comment. Is it untrue?

This is something you should have thought about, before doing the actual switch. As far as I know there is no good way of running the MS office desktop apps on Linux.

Sounds more like an android device that an actual Linux device. Especially since it gets detected as an MTP device via USB.

Maybe adb can see it.

Maybe you just need to “enable” it in the display settings of your DE.

What you use as a wallpaper is personal choice. Maybe you like anime. Maybe you are a fan of a game franchise. It’s personal choice, so it shouldn’t matter to anyone else what you have on your wallpaper.

Shouldn’t you be allowed to wear Adidas shoes, since you run Linux on your PC?

The laptop is certified to run Ubuntu 22.04, so try that out.

Although they do mention:

Standard images of Ubuntu may not work well, or at all.

There’s probably an efivar that reads the current microcode version.

~/git/AUR|dev|whatever/$(git clone) is where mine usually reside.

Isn’t rawhide the “rolling” version? If so, it does not really count as 42, just what packages 42 is likely gonna have.

I think he wrote that he had been contributing for about 7 or 8 years, and only the last one was as a volunteer.

Just to clarify. In-kernel drivers is not the same as open source firmware. Most bluetooth dongles use the in-kernel driver, but require proprietary firmware to be loaded before they work. Most of that firmware is present in the linux-firmware packages/repository, but the setup would no longer be FOSS only.

If that’s the case, then you should answer the OP with how it’s set up. OP is specifically asking how to do it with random drives other people hands them, not trusted drives always connected.

What is the disaster that could happen you’re referring to?

Auto mounting random USB sticks has never been wise. No telling what random malware they contain.

You shouldn’t just automount external drives. That’s a recipe for trouble.

What’s wrong with manually mounting them? Pretty sure the desktop environments also require you to push a button (eg, select the drive in file manager) to mount external USB drives.
